(*graphic of the crescent moon in this post is NOT the artwork for this release, which is being finished this evening as you read this.*)

Introducing, "Unfailing Fall Into Naught," LEVIATHAN's second release resurrecting the never-before-heard and / or long-out-of-print tracks from infamous American black metaller Jef "Wrest" Whitehead's catalog. This new collection features LEVIATHAN tracks from two split CDs released through now-defunct Battle Kommand Records back in 2006, the XASTHUR / LEVIATHAN split CD (originally released on LP by Profound Lore Records in 2004/2005), and the SAPTHURAN / LEVIATHAN split CD (released without the Sapthuran tracks as a stand-alone vinyl EP release called "The Blind Wound", on Southern Lord Records in 2007).
Coming in at seven tracks total and just over 45 minutes of blistering, insufferable, black metal, this amazing collection is some of LEVIATHAN's absolute, hands down, best material from his entire catalog and is sure to be a fan-pleaser. All audio has been remastered by Ken Sorceron (Abigail Williams, Chrome Waves, ex-The Faceless), and exclusive never-before-seen art is being finalized this weekend. Both the compact disc and cassette versions will be sent off to press Monday, April 2, with a vinyl pressing following shortly thereafter (no later than April 15). As soon as the project is in production / paid for, a pre-order will begin as soon as we have a ball-park estimate of when the records will be released. We're hoping for a mid-July release date for the vinyl. Check back here for updates on the status of the vinyl edition and pre-order for the standard & deluxe LP versions.

**NEW RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT** Monument016 - NACHTMYSTIUM / LEVIATHAN - "In The Valley Of Death, Where Black Metal is King: An Homage to the Roots" CD / LP / Cassette / Digital release!!
American black metal heavyweights NACHTMYSTIUM and LEVIATHAN are finally releasing their split LP that was planned for release in 2008 but was blocked due to legal issues regarding the bands contracts with their respective labels at the time. Wrest & Blake Judd have been close friends for nearly 15 years and were bandmates in TWILIGHT for ten years, so the split finally coming out is a great thing in the opinions of these two old friends. This LP is a collection of black metal covers from the bands who've influenced both bands the most. The main focus being on US black metals most important band, JUDAS ISCARIOT, whom both bands contribute covers of on this release. The albums artwork is a hail to JUDAS ISCARIOT album art, and the title is a play on the JI track, "In The Valley of Death, I Am Their King", from the bands final album, 'To Embrace The Corpses Bleeding' (Red Stream Records, 2002) Other bands covered on this split include Norwegian legends ILDJARN and BURZUM, and primal early-90's black metal underground legends VON. Don't miss this important release paying tribute to the artists whom paved the way creatively for NACHTMYSTIUM and LEVIATHAN to exist!
Release date: CD - Cassette - Digital: June 15th, 2018.
12" LP - early-to-mid July, 2018.
